==BASIC or Basic?==
I've seen this game called both ''BASIC Programming'' and ''Basic Programming,'' and there's a pretty big difference in the two. The language environment represented isn't really all that similar to any other BASIC I know of, which leads me to believe maybe it's ''Basic'' instead of ''BASIC.'' Any thoughts?

:The instruction booklet included with the cartridge always uses capitals in all letters: BASIC PROGRAMMING, stating clearly the meaning of the acronym. Since the booklet makes it clear that BASIC is an acronym, it stands to reason that it should be fully capitalized.

==Worst cartridge ever==
This had to be one of the worst, mostly useless cartridges ever. How can that be expressed in a non-POV way? [[User:Ewlyahoocom|Ewlyahoocom]] 07:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

== Limitations of the BASIC ==
I'm going on memories that are over 40 years old, but I seem to remember that statements like A←A+1 were not actually allowed. I think you had to do B←A+1 and then A←B to get the desired result. [[User:D A Hosek|D A Hosek]] ([[User talk:D A Hosek|talk]]) 16:50, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
